Although I wasn’t able to just plow through and finish the owl like I had hoped, I got some good “feathering” time in. Who knew owls were covered with so many feathers… sheesh. Suffice to say I’m going to get right back to it to stick to my “plan”: [list style=”circle”] Wednesday evening – Finish…

My wife had commented on how my last post, about the Murphy desk, was “instructionally vague”. I must admit though, it was sorta on purpose. As I’ve said before, “This this the way I do it. There are many other ways.” Well… that wasn’t quite the the case with the Murphy desk… simply because I…

I’ve finally moved all my art crap and finished the Murphy desk – aesthetics be damned. The desk gives me more storage room and it’s strategically high so I don’t die from sitting… terrible. [divider style=”thin”] The wooden thing above began as a simple murphy bed I built when the…

I’ve been making steady progress on moving my creative space. That certainly doesn’t mean I don’t have time for my other projects – it just means my progress isn’t particularly spectacularly. For example: Most the progress made over the weekend was in the little guy’s jumpsuit and legs. Little leaps and bounds, but not…

Earlier, I had mentioned a Murphy bed I had built being modified into a desk. Well, here’s the platform of the bed ready to be chopped in half (easier said than done). Also, while outside frying in the heat, I’m prepping to assemble some canvases for a local artist-friend. He’s painting around 80 pieces for…

That’s real love Tod… a custom birthday Zippo case. This is the first custom zippo I’ve made since I’ve started this website! I hope you have a wonderful birthday, I certainly appreciated the opportunity to make this piece for you. It’s time to relight those candles!

…I’m juggling a few of ’em… up in the air! Along with working on building a desk on which to sketch, I’m working on some sketches on which to build a new idea for a little astronaut fella. The inspiration came from a little clear hairspray cap. That one. I’d like to use the cap…

As you may recall, I needed to move my creative space since my son’s in his vacuum-cleaner-stage. It must be natures way of warming up his digestive system. Leaves and dust are one thing, but NOT the scraps from my desk. On the left side of the image you can see what looks like a cluttered…
